B6 DSG estate brakes

[Steve B]

In the last few days my brakes have become a little spongy, on first press of the Pedal the pedal travels nearly all the way down then the second press things seem a bit better but this is every time I brake. I think the pads are in need of doing so I'm going to try to take a look as soon as I can. Can I change the pads on the front easily myself? I get the feeling the rears need me to plug the car in? Does the car have a pad low indicator? Also can I bleed the brakes easily enough on the auto front and back or is it just easier to take it in. Have done all this work myself on older cars but none were automatic or have the electronic parking brake. Thanks
